Summary
This butter is primarily made from pasteurized cream, which is a high-quality ingredient, but it includes 'natural flavor', a vague term that can mask a variety of processed substances. The product is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of this additive, which limits its score despite the otherwise simple ingredient list. The processing level and presence of natural flavor prevent it from achieving a higher rating typical of minimally processed butters.
